New to the site, awesome site, tons of info. Any idea on these two EE's?

I can't see the back feathers on the white one so I really can't say for sure, but looks like a pullet. The black and white one is a cockerel. He's got very visible male saddle feathers.
 
Yeah, hen on top, rooster on the bottom.
 
The black/white one is a cockerel, but the white one looks like a pullet.

I'd take a better pic of the white bird just to be sure. White birds can be hard to photograph so the sex feathers show up. A profile pic of the bird standing naturally is best. A comb shot would help, and the bird's age.
 
Thanks.

Okay I'll try and get better picture of the white bird. They are both around 12 months or so.
 
If they are 12 months old, they are very, very, very slow to mature and develop. What are you feeding?
 
Your white one looks exactly like my buttercup. Same puffy cheeks and all. I have really bad service at my house so I can't get a picture to upload but will try later when I run into town. Mine are the same size and are between 13 and 14 weeks.
 
I'm sorry, I meant 12 weeks or so. These birds were given to me from someone locally and said they were hatched between April and June.
 
So here are a couple of more pics. Also any idea on the silver laced Wyandotte? Thanks again.
